| Searcher7:
Iwas hoping to get answers regarding the Happs Ultimate that I recently received. http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/507608xxx.htm Up until now I've only been familiar with the Pac-man and Wico joysticks. I assume that the Happs Ultimates I have arrived as 4-ways since only one cherry switch at a time can be depressed. There is no 4-way actuator as shown in the diagram, but the "Z-stop, which appears to support the spring, protrudes down through the hole in the bottom of the housing to be in position to activate the cherry switches. So that I assume serves the purpose of a 4-way actuator. Nevertheless, the joystick does not spring back to the center position. And going by the way the assembly is designed I can't see how it should. There is only plastic(Z-stop) on plastic(housing). Also, I have no idea how the 8-way actuator would fit far enough on the bottom of the joystick to activate the cherry switches because the "z-stop" which is doing that is in the way. I must be missing something? Thanks a lot. Darren |

This may sound obnoxious, but have you assembled the stick ? Without a picture of what you're looking at, I can't be sure, but if you don't have all of the pieces on the shaft and held by the e-clip, then there is no way it will center - you need some tension on that spring. With a pic, we'd have this cleared up in about 3 seconds. Cheers |

What I still can't figure out is why the Ultimate joysticks inmy SuperNOVA console are different from the Ultimates I just received. I'm told that there were Chinese imports, so perhaps the so-called Ultimates the SuperNOVA uses are not the real thing. Thanks. Darren |

Do the ones in your supernova have a shiny finish? Do they feel stiffer? |
